Are there strains that a well equipped breeder keeps around, either in mother, clone, seed or pollen form to add to or correct new crosses?
What I think I know:
Crossing with an Afgani could increase trich production and stability. G13HP88 seems to do some magic. Ruderalis seem useful in shortening flower time to a point (after which the auto mechanism comes to dominate). Lowryder genetics produce more compact plants.
Skunk seems to be a breeder favorite, and i am told my Purple Kush will be good for crossing.
I heard K. Jodrey say the ideal male does not pass on his own characteristics but reenforces the qualities that are desired in the female. Is this a widely held belief or simply a criteria for male selection based on a specific desirable female.
I am probably wrong about half of this. I’m cool with being corrected. What references if any have this sort of information?
